We quote the above from the Fal-

this sentence-"Unt il there is great

WE ARE indebted to an exchange,
the Virginian, for the following
declaration from the editor and pro
pr.etOr OF the St. Louis Advocate, an
influential paper published in behalf
Of the co,ored race and the Republi-
can party.
''4f Blain is nominated it viii be a
very serious question with me whether
viii support him OF Cleveland Ny
present incijuatiOns are to vote for
the latter, although | have alweys
been Republican. Mr. Cleveland is
certainly q fairer and better man for
the cOlored race than Mr. Blaine, and
has shown it by his official action
in regard to Matthews, and also in
other matters. In New York and
other Eastern States leading negroes
think as do. and there the negro vote
has weight. The negroes ofthe South
cannot turn the vote Of that section
from Cleveland
This would seem to verify our
statement heretofore made with ref.
erence to Mr.. CIeveland-the man free
from solid objection and com bining IN
him the wishes, hopes and confidence
OF every people, in all sections, Of our
united country.
Thinking men in the Republican
party are rapidly becoming to regard
well enough with such favor and
satisfaction as TO "let it alone" Fa-
natics and fanaticism have been
potent in past political conflicts, con
trolling the action OF the people, but
the time has come when the people,
taught to think and able 10 discern
between right and wrong, will no lon.

peace in all our borders, good will |

and comparative plenty in the land, !

County Clerk Neill has made up a

systematically now that II took only an
hour to do what a few months ago 1t
would have taken several weeks hard
work to accomplish. The new spstem of

Of neatness and accuracy. 1t required
considerable study to arrange all the ac-
